Chemical Compatible Chart:
DANGER!
Variations in chemical behavior during handling due to factors such as
temperature, pressure, and concentration can cause equipment to fail, even
though it passed an initial test. SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT Use suitable
guards and/or personal protection when handling chemicals
WARNING! The information in this chart has been supplied by other
reputable sources and is to be used ONLY as a guide in selecting equipment
for appropriate chemical compatibility. Before permanent installation, test
the equipment with the chemicals and under the specific conditions of your
application. Ratings of chemical behavior listed in this chart apply to a
48-hr exposure period; STC has no knowledge of possible effects
beyond this period. STC does not warrant (neither express or
implied) that the information in this chart is accurate or complete or that
any material is suitable for any purpose. |
